CISC, hot-rolled sections · Wide Flange (I-beam)
Wide flange beams (W shapes / I-beams) are the most common structural steel profile used in building construction. They are used for beams, columns, and girders in steel-framed buildings and bridges. Designed per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.
The W 920 x 534,0 steel profile weighs 533.8 kg/m (358.71 lb/ft), has a depth of 950 mm (37.40 in), flange width 425 mm (16.73 in). Cross-sectional area: 68,006.963 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,031,234.873 cm⁴, Iy = 65,560.477 cm⁴.
